9. Shadow Network
“Flexible network that can form and adapts
to its surrounding environment”

10. User Generated

11. How Do You Make Network That Changes Shape?
A network that is “alive”, “evolve” and form according to the traffic scenarios.

12. A network that always get connected.

13. A network that “always get supported” from different networks.

17. “Opportunistic Networking (Store-Carry-Forward)”
Mobile Ad-Hoc networks, intermittently connected and suitable for delay tolerant applications.
Opportunistic networks are human-centric because they opportunistically follow
the way humans come into contact.
Mobility models based on social behavior represent an important tool for testing
the performance of opportunistic systems.

Shadow Network is still a CONCEPT
Its an IDEAL Network
Its HETEROGENEOUS
Its INTELLIGENT
It LEARNS
It EVOLVES
Its ALIVE!
